Naked Man Does Hula Steals Beer at Store
San Francisco Chronicle – Aug 30, 2007
(AP) — The naked truth: Three eastern Missouri men were willing to go to extreme lengths to get some beer. That’s the accusation after an incident in the early hours of August 18th at Fish’s Quick Stop in De Soto. Store clerk Vicky Gaines says a masked man walked in and began doing the hula dance. Police say the plan was for the naked dancer to create a distraction while another man took a case of beer from the store.

Coors to introduce premium-beer unit
Denver Post – Aug 30, 2007
plans to introduce a new line of “above-premium beers” under a newly created subsidiary called AC Golden Brewing Co. In an internal announcement made to company employees and distributors last week Coors officials said the purpose of the brand is to “introduce above-premium beers to the marketplace” using an approach that departs from “the usual big-brewer process of full-blown national rollouts that are very expensive and have had only limited success. ” That old model the memo said distracted brewers from their core business and brands.

Ukraine’s beer will rise in price
The Forum – ForUm – Aug 30, 2007
Native brewers explain such price hike by increase of materials cost almost twice as much. In addition quality of new harvest grain is not on the highest level. This will lead to losses of brewing and power inputs. Moreover increase of fuel and salary for breweries workers will also influence the price of beer.

Another round for the house
Boston Globe – Aug 30, 2007
A Globe survey of area communities found that licenses are scarce in a few places and readily available in others for reasons of geography economics and choice. Local officials are not required to hand out all existing licenses but issue them instead when they believe it will “serve the public need” according to state law. Most communities can issue wine-and-beer-only pouring licenses as well as all-alcohol licenses but Woburn is authorized to issue only the latter because of local decisions made decades ago. Gaining wine-and-beer licenses would require a petition from voters and a successful ballot question as well as legislative approval according to the ABCC; getting more all-alcohol permits would require only state approval. Medford and Burlington are also seeking more licenses and have home-rule petitions pending with the Legislature. Medford has an ample supply of all-alcohol licenses but has used up all 15 of its beer-and-wine-only allotment so officials are seeking 10 more; in Medford beer-and-wine licenses require a restaurant to have 19 seats as opposed to 99 seats for all-alcohol licenses. Burlington has one all-alcohol and one wine-and-beer-only pouring license remaining a supply that could inhibit the redevelopment of Northwest Park… Local officials are not required to hand out all existing licenses but issue them instead when they believe it will “serve the public need” according to state law.
